Skyranch in Santee

[bearishgurl]

[quote=SkyRanchOwner]$799,990 is for a FULLY furnished and UPGRADED home that is over 4,000 square feet in a culdesac with a great view in a great, unique community with NO mello roos! How much do you think it would cost to fully furnish over 4,000 square feet, in addition to all the upgraded wood trim, and a fully landscaped yard? It has probably around $200,000 in all compared to a regular new home![/quote]

Who in their right mind would want to wrap $200K of “furniture” and (BY?) “landscaping” into a 15 or 30 yr. loan?? Does this mean when the $100K+ of “furniture” wears out in ten years that the properties in Sky Ranch will sell for $100K less because a buyer won’t want this furn. anymore??

[quote=SkyRanchOwner]Also, the 52 extension is moving well, and it will offer a nice easy commute to Sorrento Valley and La Jolla. You won’t find that in Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Valley, La Jolla, or anywhere else. Ok, maybe Chula Vista, but that is a longer drive to Sorrento Valley and La Jolla. Plus, you have to pay a toll road fee each way.[/quote]

SRO, I can’t speak for Rancho Bernardo, but LJ and CV ARE ALREADY THERE OR PRACTICALLY THERE so why do these communities NEED a freeway to commute to themselves??

Mr. Jones, your comment on “you have done nothing more to further the discussion” is baseless, since you obviously haven’t read all the pages in this thread.

flu, $800k is for the fully furnished, fully upgraded Eaglepointe model on a large lot.

Eaglepointe homes are selling in the low to mid $700s.

Crestview homes are selling in the low to mid $500s.

bearishgurl, it’s not just furniture, it’s all the upgraded flooring, woodwork, landscaping, etc. If you saw the house, you would realize that it’s a deal for $799,990. Also, all being equal and comparing apples to apples, LJ and Carmel Valley are not there yet for the same size lot, with view, no neighbors across the street or looking into your backyard facing you, size of house, etc. Again, the Eaglepointe homes, the largest ones with the best views, are selling for low to mid $700s.

In addition, these prices are all post boom, so no fear of major losses due to house depreciation, like 4Closure Ranch and other areas.

Sky Ranch/Santee like Chula Vista and San Marcos have taken the largest hits, post boom. We’ve already had the losses occur out here, where areas like 4Closure Ranch in RB, Carmel Valley, Carlsbad, etc. is still undergoing a larger correction.

SRO, I was referring to your statement about how easy the commute was on the 52 from Santee to LJ and SV. I stated that residents of LJ (already there) and CV (practically there) did not need a freeway to commute to themselves.

SRO, in CA, there is absolutely NO SUBSTITUTION for location and never will be. LOCATION trumps the dwelling, lot size, landscaping and furniture in a lesser location EVERY TIME. That’s just the way it is.

I personally wouldn’t prefer living in Carmel Valley or working in Sorrento Valley but both of those communities beat Santee HANDS DOWN in the location, location, location contest. This has been a long-accepted FACT in the local real estate community. Views of Gillespie Field, furniture, landscaping and bonus occasional rattlesnakes would not be able to promote Sky Ranch in this regard.

I want to add that I’m not saying the quality of life is better or worse in CV than Santee. This is subjective, IMO. What I AM saying is that the PROPERTY VALUES ARE LOWER in Santee than Carmel Valley, for a few very good reasons. But, if you are happy, then I am happy for you 🙂

I think Skyranch is trying to make the point about the amenities and upgrades and the night view. For old timers in San Diego County, Santee will always have an image problem. For those still in the market, it may be worth a second look. The schools are not bad and it is freeway close to most places. Like flu, the sticker shock for that area is a hard pill to swallow. Another issue is the size of the houses. I am not sure the builder did their homework when they put them there at those prices. However, if the builders are selling the models, they might be willing to make some close out deals for those who do not worry about a Santee address.
